A student at the Lycée Hôtelier Raymond Mondon, Angelo discovered his passion for pastry-making during an internship with Claude Bourguignon in Metz. His career then took him to Luxembourg, to the famous Relais Desserts Oberweis, then to Pascal Caffet in Troyes, before being crowned World Pastry Champion and Best Craftsman of France (MOF). Under his guidance, Angelo gained confidence and entered a number of competitions.

Crowned French Champion in 2001, he won the Pastry World Cup in Lyon in 2003, and was awarded the prestigious title of Best Craftsman of France (MOF) in the Pastry & Confectionery category in 2007.

I'm a CAP pastry chef and I have all the basics, but with voila chef's courses, I really feel like I'm learning new things, more advanced and perfected techniques, and I've made considerable progress. What's more, the courses are extremely well explained, the videos are clear and easy to follow, and all the recipes I've tried have been 100% successful, and above all, they're also excellent in terms of taste.
